“Say Allah is a whore!”

By attacking an obvious case of Fair Use, a matter that may have gone unnoticed hit the blogosphere like a tsunami. Disney essentially made the case that privately recorded examples of hate speech, used for legal, evidentiary purposes, were violations of copyright law.

Recording a radio personality who incites listeners to violence against political targets, minorities or elected officials would also be illegal, thereby making it impossible to present a case to pertinent authorities such as the Secret Service or FBI. Any copyright lawyer knows the blogger was within his rights, but they had one ace up their sleeve, and that was intimidation: they pressured his ISP with Mickey Mouse logic to remove the example clips, and they caved. Luckily, there were mirrors.

The following is an email from blogger Spocko to sponsors of a Disney-owned radio station. It resulted in the pulling of several major advertisers after Spocko questioned the wisdom of associating their brand with unabashed hate radio personalities.

Dear Ms. Clark:

Thanks to radio hosts from KSFO your brand is being associated with torturing and killing people.

“I would say first we cut off your finger, next we go for your penis. What do you want? Okay? I’ll tell ya what. The guy says nothing? We cut off the tip of the finger first. Just the tip of the finger, that’s all. I got news for ya he’s gonna start talking quickly. We can’t do any of that now…”

Would your marketing people be happy to hear your commercial ran after Lee Rogers said this about a black man in Lincoln, Nebraska?

“Now you start with the Sear’s Diehard the battery cables connected to his testicles and you entertain him with that for awhile and then you blow his bleeping head off.”

“Thanks to radio hosts from KSFO your brand is being associated with torturing and killing people. Would your marketing people be happy to hear your commercial ran after Lee Rogers said this about a black man in Lincoln, Nebraska?

” ‘Now you start with the Sear’s Diehard the battery cables connected to his testicles and you entertain him with that for awhile and then you blow his bleeping head off. ‘ “

You should know the person calling for the execution and torture of the black man in that clip READS THE AT&T commercials on the air. Right now on KSFO Lee Rogers is THE VOICE of AT&T to the SF Bay area. (Audio link )

Sadly, calling for the death and torture of individuals and groups of people is a regular occurrence on KSFO 560 AM, owned by ABC Radio Disney.

Another example: immediately after the 6 am ABC Radio news on October 27th:

Lee Rogers: I say they catch the person, tie ’em to a post and burn ’em. Set ’em on fire.

“Whoever did that should have been stomped to death right there. Just stomp their bleeping guts out.”

Within three minutes they called for someone to be burned alive and a protester to be stomped to death. If you dismissed the first clip as a “joke”, note that in this clip they were clearly not joking:

Melanie Morgan famously called for Bill Keller of the New York Times (and nine editors from other papers) to be hanged.

The odds are your product will be mocked. If they don’t respect a big client like Chevrolet, will they respect your brand?

And it’s not simply calls for killing specific people or mocking products, the radio hosts at KSFO proudly talk about their anti-Muslim views. Based on my research, your business has rules about discrimination against people of other religions, so what message are you sending when your employees or customers hear your advertisements right after Brian Sussman demands of a caller:

Maybe you haven’t heard any complaints. Would KSFO management let you know about complaints? Doubtful. Morgan’s husband, Jack Swanson, is KSFO’s operations manager. The president of KSFO, Mickey Luckoff, started the station format and has a history of defending hosts like Michael Savage until he was forced to fire him.

I understand you can’t listen to all the shows you advertise on – no one can. You rely on the accurate representation of the sales reps and the show description. But you don’t need to take my word, listen to the programs. You probably won’t have to listen long to hear something that offends or disgusts you. If you wish to hear the complete context on any clip or the audio during a date your ad ran contact me I have an educational archive of audio clips, I’ve listed a few below.

“…your business has rules about discrimination against people of other religions, so what message are you sending when your employees or customers hear your advertisements right after Brian Sussman demands of a caller: ‘Say Allah is a Whore!'”

I want to emphasize that if you withdrawal your ads you aren’t limiting their free speech, just removing your paid support of it. Some other company without the values you describe on the AT&T website can support them. You can choose to advertise elsewhere. This is really about YOU. Do YOU want to be associated with these comments? Do you want your company and brand to be associated with these comments? I urge you to discontinue advertising on KSFO during the shows hosted by Melanie Morgan, Lee Rogers, Tom Brenner and Brian Sussman.

If you want to contact KSFO here is a link to their website. If you wish to express your displeasure to their parent company contact Zenia Mucha, Senior Vice President, Corporate Communications, The Walt Disney Company PHONE: (818) 560-5300 CA, (212) 456-7255 NY or email Heather Rim, Vice President, Communications, ABC, Inc. heather.rim@abc.com.

Sincerely,

P.S. I would appreciate hearing your final determination in this matter.

According to one Secret Service agent, someone even "above Soros" came storming into the White House and began discussing a plan was to stage an attempt on Hillary's life and then blame it on Trump. Any supporting evidence? Consider the following: Before this happens, a controlled, state media will often frame a candidate with a narrative to make the coming false flag plausible. This is likely why so many media outlets began hyping the "Trump encouraging followers to kill Hillary" false narrative. This "Dangerous Donald" tactic is actually outlined in the DNC Trump playbook leak. The same leaks revealed Sanders "Bernie Bros" supporters could be portrayed as violent, too, and they were. […]

The Washington Post bravely risks it all to reveal that by 2016, Donald Trump used his access to Gen. Michael Flynn to quietly direct DARPA, then in secret works with CERN in Switzerland, to commission the first time machine ever constructed. The result? An epic rap battle between Trump and Anne Frank.

Rare Candor from the Corporate Media

“There is no such thing… in America, as an independent press… If I allowed my honest opinions to appear in one issue of my paper, before twenty-four hours my occupation would be gone. The business of the journalists is to destroy the truth, to lie outright, to pervert, to vilify, to fawn at the feet of mammon, and to sell his country and his race for his daily bread. You know it and I know it, and what folly is this toasting an independent press? We are the tools and vassals of rich men behind the scenes… Our talents, our possibilities and our lives are all the property of other men. We are intellectual prostitutes.” John Swinton,New York Times Chief Editor 1880
